I live in Cincinnati and although I come into Phily once a month, I don't overlap with National Sibling Day. I have been active with Claudia, as I assume so have you. So, I'd like to make contact. Have you done this before, and if yes, and what type of response have you gotten? I’d love to know who you are.

I resonated with much of it as your family's story and decisions about caring for your brother are very similar to my family's story and decisions. My brother, Jim, who has Down Syndrome, is now 61 years old and enjoying life. He has been a gift in our lives as well. Thank you for this touching tribute to your brother.
